The forest seemed apparently to die on the forest fire area in Honjima, Kagawa Prefecture, Japan. However, the soil that became growing basic of vegetation hardly suffered damage, and the forest recovery was started by the sprout, etc. in the next year. For restoration of forest fire area, the fascine mulching works and log barrier works using the damaged trees were used for the upper-stream, and chack dam and erosion control dam were set up in the downstream. Also, the forest restoration was tried with the plants and the microorganism that inhabit in Honjima to preserve a peculiar forest ecosystem.

The Regional Cooperative Development Center (RCDC) at Tokushima Bunri University was established in 2005. The role of the RCDC is to make a social contribution and to assist in the development of human resources. The RCDC has made contributions to society by organizing meetings to facilitate the exchange of technology, holding public lectures, supporting joint research projects, providing technical assistance for manufacturers, making available the free use of equipment owned by the university and so on. Additionally, the RCDC has put much effort into giving undergraduate students internship opportunities at industries in the eastern part of Kagawa Prefecture (the TOSAN area) in Japan. The RCDC also trained a contracted researcher from a small company about the creation of intellectual property, including how to conduct a patent prior art search, how to prepare a patent specification, etc. The RCDC has worked in partnership with industry, Sanuki City Society of Commerce and Industry and Higashi-Kagawa City Society of Commerce and Industry in order to revitalize local communities.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to examine the association of Japanese schoolchildren's involvement in at-home meal preparation with food intake and cooking skill. SUBJECTS/METHODS: We included 1,207 fifth-grade children aged 10-11 years and one parent of each child. A cross-sectional survey was used to collect data on involvement in at-home meal preparation. Correspondence analysis was used to classify involvement in at-home meal preparation into three groups: food-related activities (cooking only or with other activities such as shopping, table-setting, clean up, and dishwashing), non-food-related activities (table-setting and/or clean up), and no (helping) activities. Food intake was assessed using a food frequency questionnaire. Logistic regression models were used to examine involvement in at-home meal preparation associations. RESULTS: The sample consisted of 1,207 fifth-grade children. Vegetable intake was lower in the no (helping) activities group than the food-related activities group (95% CI; boys: 1.2, 5.1, girls: 2.0, 8.9). Fewer children in the non-food-related activities group reported they were able to make a portion of their meals compared with the food-related activities group (95% CI; boys: 1.6, 3.5; girls: 1.5, 3.2). CONCLUSIONS: Children in the food-related activities group showed more favorable food intake and cooking skills than children in the no (helping) activities or non-food-related activities group.

본 연구에서는 원격진료 기술로 병원간 통합을 꾀하고 있는 일본의 사례를 중심으로, 원격진료의 지역화 형성 및 특성에 대해 알아보았다. 연구를 통한 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 일본에서는 원격진료의 효과적인 운용을 위해, 현청, 지역 내 대학, 의사회, 지역 산업을 기반으로 하는 기업 등을 주축으로 하는 "원격진료 의원회"를 구성하여, 이를 활발한 의사 교환의 장(場)으로 이용하고 있다. 따라서 지역의 다양한 의료 종사자와 환자의 직접적인 수요를 최대한 반영하고, 조속히 맞춤형 원격진료 서비스를 제공할 수 있는 환경을 형성하였다. 둘째, 이미 형성된 긴밀한 인간관계가 원격의료의 지역화에 크게 관여하고 있다. 지역의료의 발전을 위한 정책 결정자-의사 집단 간의 관계, 의사회의 정기적인 모임과 연장자 의사 집단의 지역의료에 대한 깊은 이해 및 지원 등을 기반으로 하는 의사-의사 간의 관계, 긴 시간 신뢰를 쌓은 의사-환자 간의 관계 등은 원격진료의 발안 단계에서부터 실제적인 이용과 응용의 단계까지 두루 걸쳐 일본에서만 보여지는 지역화의 특성을 결정짓는다. 결론적으로 오프라인에서 형성된 개인적 차원의 관계(게마인샤프트)가 온라인상의 공적 차원(게젤샤프트)의 서비스로 전환되는 현상이 일본 원격진료의 지역화에서 보여지는 고유한 양식이라고 할 수 있다. 이는 하나의 현을 중심으로 하는 사회, 경제, 문화적인 특성들이 원격진료에서도 고스란히 투영되어 나타나기 때문인 것으로 파악된다.

The dinoflagellate Alexandrium tamiyavanichii Balech, a producer of toxins causing paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP), has recently been considered as one of main organisms responsible for toxication of shellfish in Japan. In this study, A. tamiyavanichii was subjected to a molecular phylogenetic analysis inferred from 28S rDNA D1-D2 sequences and a species-specific LSU rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide DNA probe was designed to identify A. tamiyavanichii using the whole cell-FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization). The sequences of the 28S rDNA D1-D2 region of A. tamiyavanichii showed no difference from A. cohorticular AF1746l4 (present name A. tamiyavanichii) and formed a distinct clade from the 'tamarensis species complex'. The probe, TAMID2, reacted specifically with A. tamiyavanichii cultured cells, without any cross-reaction with other species belonging to the same genus, including A. tamarense, A. catenella, A. affine, A. fraterculus, A. insuetum and A. pseudogonyaulax. In a test of cross-reactivity with a field sample, TAMID2 reacted consistently with only A. tamiyavanichii, indicating that the present protocol involving the TAMID2 probe might be useful for detecting toxic A. tamiyavanichii in a simple and rapid manner.

In industries, shipping is an important issue in improving the forecasting accuracy of sales. This paper introduces a hybrid method and plural methods are compared. Focusing the equation of exponential smoothing method (ESM) that is equivalent to (1, 1) order autoregressive-moving-average (ARMA) model equation, a new method of estimating the smoothing constant in ESM had been proposed previously by us which satisfies minimum variance of forecasting error. Generally, the smoothing constant is selected arbitrarily. However, this paper utilizes the above stated theoretical solution. Firstly, we make estimation of ARMA model parameter and then estimate the smoothing constant. Thus, theoretical solution is derived in a simple way and it may be utilized in various fields. Furthermore, combining the trend removing method with this method, we aim to improve forecasting accuracy. This method is executed in the following method. Trend removing by the combination of linear and 2nd order nonlinear function and 3rd order nonlinear function is executed to the original production data of two kinds of bread. Genetic algorithm is utilized to search the optimal weight for the weighting parameters of linear and nonlinear function. For comparison, the monthly trend is removed after that. Theoretical solution of smoothing constant of ESM is calculated for both of the monthly trend removing data and the non-monthly trend removing data. Then forecasting is executed on these data. The new method shows that it is useful for the time series that has various trend characteristics and has rather strong seasonal trend. The effectiveness of this method should be examined in various cases.
